is it possible to buy BRAND NEW itr red or black recaro seats?

If so please provide info

thank you

 

 

There might be a way if you are in Japan or know contacts. But, it's not worth all the $$$ to buy them new from a dealer.

 

I pm'd you....if you want, I can give you a number to call, but its in another state. I got my jdm itr black recaros from him brand new!

 

for how much????

Then you bought Recaro SRD which is a wider USDM Recaro.

The JDM ITR/CTR Recaros are made with the alcantara material for Honda (Can also be custom ordered) and the Model is the SR3. The SR3 sells for well over $1000 a set with rails. And As you have seen the OEM Version with nicer OEM rails are about $4000 a pair.

you're saying these ( the ones I bought ) are USDM???? ummm...not to be a dick, but I don't recall ITRs in the US coming with these.... and well...I dunno.....the packaging label stated it came from japan. Oh and BTW....this was a legitimate purchase from a reputable source. NOT from some shady ****!!! If anyone EVEN TRIES to insinuate that I deal with shady people, I take that as a personal insult!!!! I have never or will I ever buy anything stolen for my ride.

$4000 for a set??? I seen people selling them on HT in the neighborhood of $1500...

 

no thats for brand spankin new......$1500 is usually used prices...but if someone on here is selling an actual FACTORY SET ( like the ones I bought ) brand new for that price......GRAB IT!!!!!

Although the USDM ITR did not come with Recaros, Recaros are distributed in the US. Correct? If then your seats are from a JDM ITR, it is the Recaro SR3 according to Mike M.

 

Reacro =

 

How tall and whats your waist? Trust me read my post on here.

Depending on what exactly you want (JDM gheyness) and assuming you are short you can get the JDM ITR Recaro's for $1500-$1600

Brand New SRD's go for only $535 out of the box + just bout $100 for bracket's. soooo if you are a bit taller and wider $1270 for a brand new set with bracket's.

Or even better and tighter (more like a fixed bucket but reclineable) the speed for tall lanky peep's only $499 on sale right now on the second link in my post. so that's onlt gonna be $1200 for both.

What is "with these" the seats? I didn't say a USDM ITR did come with them.

Did the packaging label also say Honda on the box with a Honda part #?

I'm not calling you anything I am saying that if you bought these for $1k new that they are 1 of 3 things:
1) Faux Recaros (Yes lots of them out there and they look identical)
2) USDM SRD (Sport) seats done in Alcantara with Red Stitching and small recaro label.
3) "New" seats that were taken out of someones ITR that had low miles or barely any usage.

My guess would be #3 because thats the only one that makes any sense. No OEM Dealer or shop is going to sell OEM ITR seats that they bought at retail for only $1000 USD as their Cost over in Japan is about $1600 per seat, thats before shipping, customs, markup, etc. The ONLY option that makes any sense is that someone in Japan took the seats out of a new or barely used ITR and sold them cheap. Spoon was known to do this, you could walk into their showroom sometimes and find new to barely used seats from ITR CTR etc for sale as they would buy the cars new from Honda then strip them down, theyd have no use for the seats and clear them out cheap.

ummm no. If they were used at all or barely used and taken taken out of a car you can see if anything like that was "installed" or "removed". I inspected the seats and had others inspect them. They're the real deal and not remakes. And no where does it show signs of any wear n tear, being installed. If you wanna know, I got these seats from a shop who got it in turn from osakajdmmotors in canada. You can call them if you like and ASK them if they've recently ordered from japan and shipped any brand new black recaros for the DC2 Integra to Colorado recently ( contact number can be found on their website ) though you may have to put up with a heavy accent if you're talking to the owner And I'm not so sure they'd be willing to part with info on price although I do have the receipts for it verifying everything . I mean good god, you can smell the brand new smell on these things ( ok ok...i know you can buy scented sprays ). Mike, I do understand your point on how much its supposed to cost. I wouldn't have jumped on these seats like I did if I wasn't promised, guaranteed it being brand new and for the price I got it at. This to me was serious hook up. I understand its hard to believe....but I'm just telling you how it was for me...thats all. Nothing implied or anything.

 

Also...I've been getting a ton of pms about these seats...so Im going to post this up here. IM me and i will give the contact info you will need to contact Sean Sprinkel at Hot Boyz Kustoms and my contact number as well. I WILL follow up on these for you and if necessary, when it is obtained, provide a tracking number for you. Keep in mind also, I am located out in CO....so if you're in another state, my buddy who owns the shop WILL ship them to you! I've called and asked him if I can post this up on his behalf and he said it was ok to do so. I also understand there is a heavy paranoia about scammers here on H/T.....I assure you I am NOT trying to screw anyone over and I am NOT making any money off of any sales that he makes nor do I even see a penny. I can promise you that if you do not get your product or for whatever reason you decide to back out of it, you will get your money back as long as there are no "restocking fees" associated. Again, I will give you the number to call, so I recommend you ask questions first before you buy

you and i both are thinking the same thing

 

if those black recaros pictured above are "BRAND NEW", then if you look very closely, why on the bottom pic is there bolster wear and a broken tab on the side hinge consistent with a passenger getting something caught on it exiting the car? one more thing, why would new recaros already come with factory type rails/brackets and the seatbelt clips...wouldnt they come seperate? true you can say that you bought the rails used, but the broken hinge cover is on the seat itself and bolster wear is hard to hide.

unless there were pics of the seats with actual factory honda packaging and labeling, then its hard to believe they are "BRAND NEW"...mint maybe, but the burden of proof is on you.
